PNFL playoff bracket pool idea

Postby Steve-LA Chargers » Sat Jan 21, 2023 8:27 am

I used to run a bracket pool for the XFBS playoffs to get that March Madness feeling. We kind of are in a better position to do this in the PNFL considering :mrgreen: we have points. Why? We can use the points to create the money pot. Up to the commishes of course.

This is how it would work:

- Bracket entry fee = 1 point
- If all 18 coaches enter, winner could get 18 points! Could be a game changer for a team. :mrgreen:
- Can do up to 3 bracket entries. Some guys just like to gamble. No big deal, it just increases the winning pot of points.
- Basically make your picks for each round and provide a total SB points tiebreaker (to the commish or bracket pool mgr)
- Example (using highest seeds):
Rnd 1: OAK, NYJ, WAS, CHI
Rnd 2: OAK, WAS
Champ: WAS
Tiebreaker: 47

Might be too late for this season but maybe next season.

Fun yes. Too much impact on the game I think. I actually hate how much we give on the weekly already. I participate because you have to or you lose ground in signing players. Can't afford to give away cap space and any competitive advantage to opponents. I want my actual game decisions to be what matters and not side unskilled things. Just my opinion.

I am open to anything that generates interest in the league.
Do we need a weekly podcast?
Of course not but is it fun? Yes!
Whatever draws all 18 coaches into more interest and participation is important.
At this point 44 seasons in, it's not just about winning, it's about keeping it going for another 44 :D
But, this idea would have been more helpful a week or 2 ago. Next season.
